Integrated for Gallo 3.1


I am currently powering my Gallos with a Mcintosh 6450. My source is a macbook pro streaming apple lossless files through an airport express and into a Bryston BDA-1. I have been told the Mac is the weak link in the chain and have always considered upgrading it at some point, even though I do love the blue meters. It's only 50w into 8 ohms and I'd like a little more headroom.

Looking to invest 2-3K more, assuming a sell the Mac so maybe 4K or less used. Was thinking about a Levinson 383 or Classe CAP-2100. Any thoughts or other suggestions? thanks

I heard an ARC VSI60 on the G 3.1's sounded incredible to me...some of the best sound I've ever heard. If I had the 3.1s, I'd already have one!
I have a vsi60 that I run my Gallo 3.5's with.
I love the combo.
don't let anybody try to tell you you need hi current SS amps for this speaker.The vsi is a fantastic match.
Anthony Gallo uses Spectron amps for all his demo setups, you should check their lineup for an integrated.

I am using a Butler TDB-5150 tub/MOSFET hybrid with 150 watts/ch., 5 channels. It sounds *terrific* and I have no desire to change this setup...There is a Butler TDB-2250 for sale on A'gon, take a look.

Good Luck,

If you like your Mac then why not one of their higher powered SS integrateds like the 6900?
